Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain

You can't know about everything, only pleasure and pain

You wonder why I come here with head to my hands

Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion

A thorn in your side, a child to protect

That claims he's free



Just around the comer, half a mile to heaven

Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection

Darling come quickly, come ease my mind

For my prayers have not been answered in a long time



I've already made my bed, like it or not

As long as there's no regrets

I'll be here when the ride stops

These comforts to me and these crosses to bear

With which we live



Just around the comer, half a mile to heaven

Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection

Baby, I can't drag you into this mess



I'm the thorn in your side and the child to protect

And I'm just around the comer, half a mile to heaven

Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection

Darling come quickly, come ease my worried mind

For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
